DIAMETER_REQ_T

Retrieves header information and AVPs from Diameter requests. AVPs can be retrieved by:

• Directly specifying the AVP codes in the form: DIAMETER.REQ.AVP( ). For example, to retrieve the Auth-Application-Id AVP (code 258), you can use the expression: DIAMETER.REQ.AVP(258).
• Using aliases that are provided for important AVPs. For example, the Auth-Application-Id AVP has the alias AUTH_APPLICATION_ID. So, the expression to retrieve the Auth-Application-Id AVP by using the alias is DIAMETER.REQ.AUTH_APPLICATION_ID.

General usage: DIAMETER.REQ.

This topic lists the expressions that are provided by this class.

Note: Expressions with the * symbol are inherited/promoted from diameter_message_t.

* ACCOUNTING_SUB_SESSION_ID

Returns the Accounting-Sub-Session-Id AVP (code 287) from the message.

Returns: avp_t

* ACCT_APPLICATION_ID

Returns the Acct-Application-Id AVP (code 259) from the message. Note: expression can be used to retrieve the value as Unsigned32

Returns: avp_unum_t

* ACCT_MULTI_SESSION_ID

Returns the Acct-Multi-Session-Id AVP (code 50) from the message.

Returns: avp_t

* ACCT_SESSION_ID

Returns the Acct-Session-ID AVP (code 44) from the message.

Returns: avp_t

* APPLICATION_ID

Returns the Application-ID from the message.

Returns: unum_text_t

* AUTH_APPLICATION_ID

Returns the Auth-Application-Id AVP (code 258) from the message. Note: expression can be used to retrieve the value as Unsigned32

Returns: avp_unum_t

* AVP_END

Returns the location at the end of Diameter message (or in other words end of all AVPs) in Diameter message.

Returns: text_t

* AVP_LIST

Returns the AVP region in Diameter message (or in other words returns location at start of AVPs and length equal to Diameter message length excluding header).

Returns: text_t

* AVP (uint avpcode)

Returns the specified AVP from the message. For example, to get the AVP with code 263 from a Request, use the expression: DIAMETER.REQ.AVP(263). Note: To get AVP that is nested inside a grouped AVP, use the AVP method from the avp_t class.

Parameters (expressions not allowed):

avpcode - AVP code

Returns: avp_t

* AVP (uint avpcode, uint vendorid)

Returns the specified AVP in given vendor-id namespace from the message. For example, to get the AVP with code 1001 and VendorId 10415 from a Request, use the expression: DIAMETER.REQ.AVP(1001, 10415). Note: To get AVP that is nested inside a grouped AVP, use the AVP method from the avp_t class.

Parameters (expressions not allowed):

avpcode - AVP code

vendorid - Vendor Id

Returns: avp_t
